Check grease level regularly, about
every 25 hours of operation.
N Unscrew the filler plug (1). If no
grease can be seen on the inside of
the filler plug, screw the tube (2) of
STIHL gear lubricant for
brushcutters – see "Special
Accessories" – into the filler hole.
N Squeeze up to 0.2 oz (5 g) grease
into the gearbox.
N Refit the filler plug and tighten it
down firmly.
To help prolong the wear life of the
starter rope, observe the following
points:
N Pull the starter rope only in the
direction specified.
N Do not pull the rope over the edge of
the guide bushing.
N Do not pull out the rope more than
specified.
N Do not allow the starter grip to snap
back, guide it back into the housing
slowly – see chapter on "Starting /
Stopping the Engine."
Have a damaged starter rope replaced
by your dealer before it breaks
completely. STIHL recommends that
you have servicing and repair work
carried out exclusively by an authorized
STIHL servicing dealer.
For periods of 3 months or longer
N Drain and clean the fuel tank in a
well ventilated area.
N Dispose of fuel properly in
accordance with local
environmental requirements.
N Run the engine until the carburetor
is dry – this helps prevent the
carburetor diaphragms sticking
together.
N Thoroughly clean the machine –
pay special attention to the cylinder
fins and air filter.
N Remove, clean and inspect the
cutting blade.
N Store the machine in a dry, high or
locked location, out of the reach of
children and other unauthorized
persons.
Lubricating the Gearbox
